After spending time with Gabrielle Robbins (the owner) I came away with a renewed enthusiasm for not just flowers, but pollination and the role of the bee. Gabrielle is fascinated with flowers and that natural enthusiasm shines through, especially the love of species from England, which is very interesting as many blooms come from Holland - with some imported from as far away as Columbia and Ecuador. I am told The Flower Council of Holland is excellent for general information and there is a Flower Council UK website as well.

For those who do not know, an Orangery was a building found in fashionable residences in the 17th to 19th century where citrus trees were often wintered. The shop has been converted to incorporate a roof lantern to provide natural light for the flowers. The Orangery Flower Shop is at the rear of Talisman Square directly facing Waitrose. Home delivery is now offered along with floral arrangements for Weddings and Special Occasions. The Orangery now has a Google Owner Verified Business Listing.
